i'm not banker.

- but from my observation.. savings account offer higher interest rate than current.
- i'm not sure if it's true but there's a limit for ATM card usage (for ATM withdrawal.. not the amount) per month
- and as i said, current account meant for business / expenses purposes.. lots of transaction etc..

yes.. day to day expenses and can receive huge amount at one time as well...  i dont know the system will detect it as suspicious activity.. according to friend work at BNM, its straight away fall under Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing (AMLA). saving acc is for saving not for business transaction... unless open business account or current account. current account need deposit i think.. depends with bank

ok found this:

"Current" is another word for Checking, as it is called in the US.

Savings account is an interest-bearing account with certain limitations. For example, in the US you cannot withdraw money from it more than 6 times a month. Here is the explanation why.

Current account is a "general-use" account on which you can write checks, use ATM/Debit cards and have unlimited transactions. It can also have negative balance (if your bank agrees to let you overdraft, they usually charge huge fees for that though). Checking accounts can have interest as well, but they usually don't, and if they do - it's much lower than the savings account interest.

from Maybank seems quite easy to open a current account.
